The Broncos could ask Demaryius Thomas to take a pay cut this offseason.

Thomas has a $4 million option bonus due in March. The Broncs can void the final two years of his deal if they decline it, so there's some leverage for him to restructure. Thomas is coming off a down season, averaging just 11.4 YPR and getting held under 1,000 yards for the first time since 2011. Denver needs to clear cap space to improve their offense. Jan 12 - 8:10 PM

Demaryius Thomas caught 6-of-8 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' Week 17 loss to the Chiefs.

With the quiet day, Thomas finishes at 949 yards, putting him below 1,000 for the first time since 2011. That was pre-Peyton Manning in Denver. Quarterback play was the primary culprit, but Thomas also struggled with drops and failed to make big plays. His 11.2 yards per catch was a new career low. Thomas turned 30 on Christmas Day. Out of guaranteed money, Thomas has a $4 million option bonus due this offseason. Seeing as cutting him would leave behind a ton of dead money while creating little in the way of cap savings, we would expect Thomas to remain in Denver. Sun, Dec 31, 2017 08:42:00 PM

With Brock Osweiler — long story — spreading the ball around and C.J. Anderson churning out yards on the ground, Thomas was one of three Broncos pass catchers to post more than 60 but fewer than 70 yards. Thomas has cleared 75 yards just once in his past nine games. With Osweiler likely to be under center for Week 16 against the Redskins, Thomas will be an uninspiring WR2. Thu, Dec 14, 2017 11:49:00 PM

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Broncos are expected to make Trevor Siemian available for trade this offseason.

Denver would be lucky to get anything more than a conditional sixth- or seventh-rounder, especially in what looks to be a loaded -- for its standards -- quarterback market via draft and free agency this year. Siemian has starting experience, sure, but he completely bombed out last season and is also recovering from left shoulder (non-throwing) surgery. Denver is going to overhaul its QB room.

Taylor was thought to need surgery on both hips, but he is only expected to need one side repaired. He will likely still be brought back as an exclusive rights free agent, but he could end up missing the entire offseason program. Taylor caught 13 passes for 142 yards this season.
